I’m so old, “Little Smokies” weren’t around when I was a little smokie. \u00a0Yet Hormel ‘full size” smokies were a regular part of my family’s weekend breakfast. Saturday breakfast was a big event at our house, my dad often cooking, and it was such a spread that kids often slept over on Friday nite to gorge on the feast which may have included any or many of the following: scrambled eggs, pancakes, waffles, toast, smokies, ham, steak, turnovers.<\/p>\n

Oscar Mayer has brought back the ‘large size’ smokies, 8 to a pack, all natural, no artificial ingredients, a skinless sausage of beef and pork with seasonings, and hardwood smoked.<\/p>\n

They are about the same size of hot dogs, larger than I remember them from back in the day, a coarser grind than hot dogs, with a bit more distinctive seasoning.<\/p>\n

Verdict? They are OK, but not something I would pick up regularly. I have been spoiled by Hillshire Farms Beef Lil Smokies over the years.<\/p>\n

The good news at the moment is Hormel has introduced a raft of new products, and they are all highly discounted.<\/p>\n

BTW, some Hormel products are distributed on a regional basis, and I’ve found they have an ecommerce website<\/a> for items that might not be available in your area. Cool.<\/p>\n
